The company said in a forecast on Tuesday that Poland can expect to win three gold medals, seven silver and seven bronze, placing it 15th in the overall nations standings.

With just days remaining until the opening of the Paris Olympics, Gracenote released its latest Virtual Medal Table forecast for the 2024 Games.

Considering available results data from key global and continental competitions since the pandemic-postponed 2021 Tokyo Summer Games, the company has projected gold, silver and bronze medal counts for participating countries.

The forecast projects the United States to win the most medals overall in Paris, at 112, followed by China, with 86.

The Paris Olympics begin on Friday and run through to August 11.

Polish athletes brought home 14 medals, four gold, five silver and five bronze, from the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Summer Games, the national team's best haul this century.

At the Rio Summer Olympics in 2016, Poland won 11 medals, two gold, three silver and six bronze.

At the London Olympics in 2012, Team Poland scooped 10 medals, three gold, two silver and five bronze.
